Not feeling the kidney/headlamp blend. I hope BMW amends this like they did with the E9x layout as to the top of the kidneys to the bonnet (2007 v 2008+).

Hoping BMW moves from this..

to this.. Much cleaner, imagine if BMW carried the bonnet forward.

As for the rest of the exterior, I need to see it in person, my initial response is the front line of bonnet looks terrible. The straight line "cut off" bonnet approach worked for the 5 and 7 series, but is too pronounced in the 3 series. I'm aware of the Euro regulations as to front end materials, but the MB C class distinguished the bonnet line much better IMO (and I'm a BMW man).

As for the interior, big, big fan of the M steering wheel... old school and functional. Love the sloping dash lines as well.

I work for BMW and I heard all the first production 3 series till about
August will all be rear wheel drive then the all wheel drive will be released .
But I thing it looks like a little 5 . But it's still nice looking .
